EDNESD4Y, JANUARY 31, 1810. , "We this morning received French and Dutch Papers, the former to the 23d, and the latter to the 27th inst. It does not appear that BUONAPARTE „has set out for Spain ; but 'the French Papers give the most grossly exaggerated accounts of the num ber, of French troops that are marching to that country. The unfortunate King of, Swaney has arrived a • Hatnburgh. We have very little doubt that the next Spanish rapers which we receive will give us a very differ ent account of the Expedition of General MIL HAUD, from that which warn given in the last Mani ,,urs_ it is repregented as having cleared the coun try to the left, of the banditti with which it was in fested, and we - are at the same time told that the appearance of his troops excited universAl admira tion, and that their condu& called fur the benedic tions of the inhabitants. The very great import ance K hid) is attached to this success of General MILIIAUD, SheWS, that though the French aanally occupied the City of Madrid, they were not in pos session of the surrounding country; and that where ever they , have not a large military force to keep the people in awe, the inhabitants are constantly in arms against the French. It very probable that MIL HAUD, with a considerable corps of cavalry and in fantry, might traverse the country, and overthrow any small bands of Patriots that be might meet ; but be acquired np pernaanent possession ; and the French Papers themselves state one fact, which proves that General MILHAVD himself was aware that the Spaniards,would ripe again the moment he depart, ed., It appears Irons the French official aecount, than M I LHAWD, in his progiess, took possession of several considerable magazines belonging tp the b..lt4jtti, and dispersed the rebel Junta of Alolina4 in Arragon. Now, the appoihtment of !antes, and the colleaion of considerable magazines, by no means accords with what we.have been told in the French Papers, that. „the inhabitants are in general well disposed to King jOSSPH, and that it is only a few robbers and fanatics that castraa the public peace. But we find that General MILHAUD was obliged to destroy these considerable magazines a measure to which be would never have had re course, if be had merely been employed in scouring the country of a few banditti. The French may boast of their viaories, but they must at the same time 'acknowledge, that the kingdoms of Castile and Arragon, which they boasted of having can quered, are up in arms against them. The Opposition Writers, who have been so anxi ous that Parliament should enter into a❑ Inquiry into the Expedition to Walcheren, seem now deter mined to save our Representatives the trouble of the Investigation, by kindly taking all the trouble upon themselves ; aud, as. in their view_of the subject , facts are not very important, they with great pro priety begin to discuss the question before they are in possession of the Documents. We do not in tend to follow their-example, but we cannot pass over in silence an, observation which appeared in a Paper of this morning. In speaking of that Expe dition, it states, that when our force arrived it found every thing in the same situation that it had been months before 7 —that no preparations had been made for defence—that no treason had betrayed our Councils—and that, in faBc, our attack was quite unexpected. ,Surely the Writer . of the article al luded to must have forgotten what appeared on the trial (if it may be so,called) of General Morr.NET, where it appeared, that, so early as April, he was apprized, by the French Minister at War, of the probability of an attack, and ordered to be pre pared for it. We do not mean to insinuate that our Councils were betrayed, but when BUONAPARTR knew that an Expedition was preparing in this country, he naturally supposed that itwould belsent to that point where it was likely to do him most mischief, and he therefore directed his attention to Flusl)ing and Ant werp. The Dugay Truin French privateer;of 16 glans , is taken by the Narcissus frigate, and arrived ..at Scilly... She had ell - A:wed the Emulation, TROMP.. SON, and the Maria, PRCK, from Heligoland for Pool. . The former is re-taken by the Narcissus, and arrived at Scilly. The private ship Porcher, bound from Calcutta, whence she sailed on the t 1 th of September, is ar• rived in Ireland, and may be expeEted daily in an English port. She ,s filed from St. HAena with the lk illiani, Which arrived from Madras ten 'days ego. We are enabled, from private but undoubted au . thority, to contradict the statement which appeared in several Papers, that the Officers of the two batta lions eugaged in the unfortunate contest near Serin aapatam, in August l as t, were kill e d : —C apta i n ' Avon 111AcKiNTostr, of the 'Bth Native Infantry, was wounded and taken ;—Lieut. BEST, from an epileptic fit, died soon afer he arrived at Seringapa tarn 3—but every other European Officer of the de tachment, viz. 14 of the Bth, and 6 of the tsth Re giment, arrived in safety in the Fort of Seringa patam. ; A report was circulated yesterday, upon the au , thority of the Captain of a vessel from Rochelle, which left that place on the 19th instant, , that BUG NAPARTE had set off for Spain ; and that previously to his departure, his intended bride, a Russian Princess, had arrived at Paris ; but the Paris Papers to the t Bth, which we have already noticed, men tion nothing of either of these circumstances, nor has there been time for the arrival of a Russian Princess at Paris. On the 28th inst. Mr. STEWART set sail from Fal mouth for Lisbon, to.succeed Mr. VILLERS, as Am bassador at that Court. The Packet took its departure at the same time. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of YORK entertained - a large party with an elegant dinner, at their house iii the Stable Yard, St. James's. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of CAM BRIDGE gave a grand dinner to a large party of Mili-, tart' Gentlemen, at his house in Berkeley-square. The American frigate John Adams, has arrived at Amsterdam; she is expeded in the British Channel in a few days, on her return to America, when she will take on board dispatches from Mr. PINKNEY to the American Government. Accounts were yesterday received at the Admi ralty,. that Lord BEAUCLERK, on reconnoitring Cherbourg a day or two ago, found that one of the largest frigate; had made its escape ; his Lordship supposes it lb have got out on the t3th instant. A report was yesterday received by an American vessel, that Congress had adjourned to the 4th of January, without coming to any decision on the measures proposed as substitutes fur the Non-Inter course Act. The late Lord MoNsoN's stud, which was sold by auction a few days ago (comprising 35 horses of various descriptions), fetched nearly, including the duty, 40001. Scud and Easy were bought for Lady MONSoN, at the late sale at Burton House. easy for 650 guineas; Scud for 460. Since which her Ladyship has made a present ot•Scud to her brother, Lord POLLINGTON. A pugilistic contest took place near We*ninster Abbey, 'ort Monday, between two females, who had quarrelled about a young man, whose affee'ions they both claimed. After pulling each 'other's caps and hair off, 210 fighting for some time.,one of them gained a complete victory, aril w s.cartied off in triumph by her lover. 1112 W CH 4ND DUTCH PAPER.% MUNI;CH, JAN.

The different branches of the head quarters, which quitted Lintz at the beginning of of this year, have also arrived at Passau. We are assured that the head-quarters will remain there a fortnight, and be afterwards transferred to Stras burg, in Lower Bavaria. Order being established in all parts of the Tyrol, hell of the instil-gents as were still in the prisons of Botzen, have been set at liberty, anti have- returned to their homes.

BAYONNE, JAN. 12. Troops are daily passing through this town on their march to Spain, and those of the Bth corps, under the orders of the Duke of ABRANTES, begin to arrive. Yesterday we witnessed the arrival of the 6th regiment of the line, the 21st horse chasseurs, and the 10th, of hussars. These troops are to remain in cantonments in our environs till the division of REGNIER has crossed the frontiers. Upon an average from 12 to la ,000 men arrive daily. They write from Bilboa, that all the Civil Autho rities in Biscay have been t displaced, and suc cee d e d by French Officers. No doubt is entertained but hat the same measure will be pursued in the Pro vinces of Alava, Navarre, and Arragorl. The field equipage of the Prince of NEUFCII A TEL has reached this place, and his Highness is ex peded Within a few days. Private letters from Madrid state, that the King is on the point of proceeding to the kingdom of Va lencia at the head of his army, and certain hopes are cntertaint•d that the said kingdom will submit without resistance. VIENNA, JAN. 0.-4-o , ir Court Gazette contains the following article : " The stipulation of the Treaty of Vienna, with regard to the evacuation of such places as were oc cupied by French troops, have been every where carried into effeol. The French army in Upper Austria crossed ~t he frontiers on the 4th instant.

COPENHAGEN, JAN. 9.—A Royal &lid has lately been published, which prohib is the importation 01 Colonial produce i❑ Swedish ships, and all other neutral and friendly bottoms, .without a special li cense having for that purpose been obtained fiom his Majesty. American Whirs, which come dired from their country, are therefore the only vessels which are Permitted to import Colonial commodi ties without such license. • HAMM-7RWL JAN. 14.—The Count DE GOTTORP (GUSTAVUS APOLPEILIS), arrived here yesterday evening with his family, and alighted at the Hotel d'Angleterre. It is said that he will rest a few days in this city, and then continue his Journey to Switzerland.

The last column is expected in a few days, it consists for the most part of Swedes made prisoners at Lubec. PARIS, JAN. 18.—His Majesty the Emperor, yes terday morning, held a Council of Ministers. For several days a considerable activity has been observa- . ble in the Cabinet, but hitherto nothing has tran spired respecting the nature of the objects, discussed there. The Emperor, Co reward the zeal of the NatiQual Guards, who contributed to the dcfence of the frontiers of the rtripire at the time of till 'appearance of the English in the Scheldt, and to give them a proof of his satisfadtion with their -conduEt, issued, on the Ist of January, 1 Decree from the Thuilleries, cnaeling, that there shall be added to the regiments of the Itn - ,ei rial Guard a regiment of four battalions, eonsistin% . • of well-disposed -men, taken from the National Guards, who have contributed to the defence 01 Flanders and the Channel. Each battalion shell contain four Companies, organized and treated W 1 the tirailleurs of the Guards. 'This regiment is to 1' called " The Regiment of !national Guards of iht Guard." FRANKFORT, Jkrr. 14.—The King and Queen o f ' Westphalia arrived on the sth, at Cassel, on thei return from Paris: Their Majesties were received by the inhabitants of the royal residence with cverY demonstration of joy. The Kirg, immediate!) , at" ter his arrival, caused to be published a Decree, is* sued at Paris on the 25th of December last, bj which his Majesty has enaaed an Order of Knight hood under the title of " The Order of the . Grown o .l T>✓estphalia," destined to reward those of his sub.-, jests who have rendered services to the State, either.' in a civil or military capacity. • Advices from Stutgardt announce, that the King Of Wurtemberg arrived there from Paris in puree) health, on the 7th in the afternoon. It appears; that the French troops forming the army of Get'. many,will not all repass the Rhine, as had been•be" lieved, but that two corps will remain in Germany, the one under the command of the Marshal Duke Of REGGIO, Consisting of JO,OOO men, will take winter-quarters in the environs of Augsburgh and Ulm; the other, of nearly the same strength, will be cantOned in the country of Wurtaburg, that of Fulda and the county of Hanau. The division of General LAGRANGE, making part of the corps Of , the Marshal Duke of R EGGIO , h a d a l ready arrive d , ' on the 7th, at Augsburg. Several regiments of cavalry, making part of the 4th corps, have also arrived at Bayreuth. The arrival of these troops has occasioned the Saxon army, which is returning home, and was to have passed though Bayreuth, to take another route. The first troops of the sion of the General of Division ROYER, will to day pass the Rhine .at Manheim.—They consist at two battalions of, Nassau, in the best order. The other troops of this division, viz. the contingents of, the Dukes and• Princes of Saxony, Anhalt., Schwarzl • . e .. • - burg, La Lippe, Walde c k, &c. wiil pass on • the fol lOwiOg days. It is believqd that these troops aro destined for Spain. Advices dire& from Constantinople, of the data of theasth of November, state, that after the bat tle fought near Silistria, the Turks have proposed a suspension of arms, but it was not accepted, the pretensions of the Turks being too extravagant; in fine, that the Russians had evacuated the whole right bank of the Danube, and that all the bridge; being broken down, they had lost a great number made prisoners : on the 'contrary, advices from Bucharest, dated the 6th of December, state, that it Prince BAGRATION, who had retreated with the whole Russian army from the environs of Silistria to Hirchova and Gernabova, had again advanced towards Silistria, and that every thing announced that there would be this year a winter campaign." We have• just received from Prince BAGRATIOg the official intelligence that the fortress of 'lnflow surrendered by capitulation, on the 3d of this month, to General VON ESSF.N. This event has been an nounced by several discharges of artillery. The ORATORIO.---This - grand species ofentertain ment may be said to have commenced for the season last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, thotigh it will not be resumed till the Lent period. The convo siiion verformed last night was the Messiah, and it was supported in a very able manr.er by the vocal and instrumental Performers engaged for the occa sion. Miss PARKE, Miss E. Bot. Tori, Madame GEIGLtETTI, and 'M's. BLAND, Severally. dis':n guisbed themseltes very successfully. 'PELLA:-IY * Goss, and PHILLIPS also acquitted therns ably.

WESLEY, whose abilitis - ,- usieian are. well known, performed J Concerto.on a a.- w bailt by ALLEN, in a style that was chanclelised by science, taste, and expression. The House was crowded in all parts, a proper tribute to the lineral spirit of the AstiLEY's, who have brought forward this noble entertainment upon so ample scale, as to intitle them to public approbation and enceorage- Meta. The Edinburgh Theatre, we find, is to be ho noured by a new Tragt.dy from the pen of Miss BAILLIE, one of the very first dramatic writers of the present day, though, ; except in one instance, the Managers have not shewn taste and judgment enough to introduce her produ&tiuns un the Stage. ...13:1N4STRR, as scion as his theatrical engagement at Dublin terminates, is to travel through various parts of Scotland with his facetious Budget, and open it at several places in this country, on his return to the mett.polis. _ _ STEPHEN KENtimg has been performing Falstaff at Ldinbuygh, and is gone to treat tho good folk' of Glasgow with the same chareter, Pon?
